As a trial user i think i have to pay for that, so maybe later. Jules

this is v500 issue and the bug system does not support that yet. i raised one nevertheless. hope it helps jules

Hey, I just did an upgrade and looked good, bar some system log errors. Then I tried to save changes to the Settings. CC5 burped and told me I'd got no license Now I log in and all my settings have gone .... Bit of a worry? Jules I subsequently found the following error

After upgrade I have the following four System Error Log messages. 1) The CC403 sts_CubeCart_inventory table does not have a column eanupc_code, the correct column appears to be eanupcCode 2) The CC500 sts_CubeCart_inventory table is updated to upc successfully 3) The CC500 sts_CubeCart_inventory table has a column ean but it does not come after upc, it comes two columns later, after date_added and seo_custom_url 4) Neither the CC403 sts_CubeCart_inventory table nor the CC500 sts_CubeCart_inventory table has a column called updated Can anyone please advise, is this installation unstable? Thanks Jules

I just noticed that Vermont is missing from the US States drop down list in the Cart pages. Can anyone tell me where the array is that I might add it in? With thanks Jules

Hi, Pulling my hair out to the tune of Paypal (again). Users coming back from Paypal to my shop get an Module path doesn't exist! error... The URL is => http://www.domain.com/directory/index.php?_g=rm&type=gateway&cmd=process&module=PayPal&cart_order_id=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX Of course there is a configured module at Admin => Modules => Payment Methods => Paypal Does anyone have any thoughts on this, please? Best regards and many thanks, Jules

Hi, I need to move my site from Domain Name 1 on Server A to Domain Name 2 on Server B I think I've worked out that I need to; 1) move the files 2) respect file permissions at the new location [*] 3) edit includes/global.inc.php and reset to permissions to 444 4) remove includes/extra/key.php 5) reset the license in my cubcart.com account Does anyone know of a decent FAQ with more comprehensive support for this at all, including [*] File Permissions? With thanks, Jules

Hi, I want to access the full product image in Skin => Template => Box => randomProd.tpl - then control it's size via XHTML/CSS. The current script [v4.3.9] says; $thumbRootPath = imgPath($randProd[0]['image'],$thumb=1,$path="root"); $thumbRelPath = imgPath($randProd[0]['image'],$thumb=1,$path="rel"); if (file_exists($thumbRootPath) && !empty($randProd[0]['image'])) { $box_content->assign("IMG_SRC", $thumbRelPath); } else { $box_content->assign("IMG_SRC", $GLOBALS['rootRel']."skins/". SKIN_FOLDER . "/styleImages/thumb_nophoto.gif"); } ... as a complete PHP novice I'm guessing $thumbRootPath/$thumbRelPath are just "temporary variables" used in an if/else loop, so I'm guessing $thumb=1 is the determining factor here? To get the full image do a I change that variable (and if so, to what?), or remove it altogether? Many thanks in advance for your assistance with this matter. Regards, Jules

Hi, Looking in "Customers" I can see a column called Types. These Types are indicated by a icon, like type0.gif,type1.gif & type2.gif... The image icon alt tags tell me that Type 0 are Mailing List Only and Type 2 are Full Customer Account. But a number of my accounts are trapped in this Type 1 stasis that I do not understand. Can online tell me what happens to an account to determine whether it is a Type 1 or Type 2 account and what needs to happen to facilitate the transition between the two Types? With thanks in advance JiF

Thanks for the confirmation, Jules

What problem does this fix? Jules

I have the same problem as well. I tried a search but got 25 pages solving different problems and one suggestion that listed substantial code modifications. My guess is that CC3.0.18 simply does not work with Paypal/IPN... Like you I'd just like to know what the definitive status on this situation is. Here's hoping Jules

Jules - Yes, if you want customers to only be able to select from a particular set of countries when they register, deleting them is probably the best way (CubeCart does not allow you to hide certain countries) Thanks Estelle for taking the time to help; I get it now. Jules

Does anyone have an effective way to run "auto" update of currencies through a CRONJOB? Jules

Sorry to be a little thick but I do not fully understand the Countries functionality. Is it there solely to support the User Registration, Payment and Postal Address functionality? I ask because I wish to limit the scope of my store to certain geographical markets. I'm guessing that if I remove all of the countries except the ones I'm interested in that Users outside these territories will not be able to register [billing address] or create shipping addresses? Is this the best way to give effect to this or can I limit my users in some more classy way? Thanks, Jules

I created a new 4.3.0 installation today. I created one category, one child-category and added one product, that I assigned to the child-category. When I use the configuration option to not show categories with no entries I cannot access my product because there's no path through the [empty] category to the child-category. When I enable configuration option to show categories with no entries I can access my child-category, with a product count of (0), via the [empty] category. However when I click on the icon for that child category I can access my product. Surely this is totally screwed up? So I guess this is a bug? jiF

Hi, After a silly half hour wondering why my beautiful new templates do not render correctly on the site I think I discovered that CCRT4 caches templates too. Is there a way to turn this behaviour off for development purposes, either officially [ie an option] or un-officially [ie cmod the cache folder to 644]? Thanks in advance of any thoughts... jiF

Read Me.txt [2. Upgrade Instructions - version 4.x to latest version 4] is quite clear "Upload the entire contents of this folder over your existing files replacing all existing ones." Seems odd; what happens to my settings and photographs? can anyone reassure me? Brgds, JulesInFrance

Thanks B2B'ing and The Happy One! In the end I traced it to a limitation of the database import function in phpMySQL - my database was way too large and was truncated during the load. I had my host/support load it instead and now we're good-to-go! JiF

I need to move my CC4 shop to a host who will support PHP5. I loaded CC4.2.0, replaced the images folder with my 4.1.x images folder, copied across global.inc.php, set the permissions and uploaded the DB file. Of course I needed to modify global.inc.php to reflect the new host_name in $glob['dbdatabase'] = and $glob['dbusername'] = and I did that too. Now I get an error; I'm guessing here but I suspect the CC4 upgrade script should get this from the DB, therefore it is not finding the DB. Would that be a reasonable assumption or is there a more obvious reason for the transfer not working? Is there a "moving your v4 installation from one server to another" thread I've missed in my search? Thanks in advance, Jules in France

I do not use CC3 enough to remain fluent.... I have a store with PayPal/IPN As I cannot find a Help Manual or any documentation on the software (anyone?) could someone let me know; If I only have PayPal as the payment option 1. Can the order be marked as Pending (payment method PayPal) even though IPN has not been received? and; 2. When does an order change from Pending to Processing - is it only after IPN is received. With thanks. JiF

I'm really pleased with v4; slightly buggy and with a number of functions that maybe shouldn't be in the wild just yet but overall, for me, this is the start of a new and exciting journey with this software. I sell stores to customers who cannot afford Actinic and frankly can't face osCommerce. CCRT4 certainly gives me a lot more to sell, and gives me two versions to pitch to them; shall we call them "4" and "lite". Given that many pay$500 for page 1 optimization services merely having SEO makes $129 a decent RoI; and a big thanks to Stevie68 for giving me a neat little list of the key features........ Yep, I'm really excited and looking forward to the next few releases as the wrinkles come out of it. Jules

Derek, In attempting to understand the abilities and limitations of the function I made 4 imports of a single record all of which failed for various reasons. The fifth worked. Given that there was a test record included with the default installation my fifth import became record 6. This suggests that each import creates a new item in the catalog and subsequent imports cannot be linked to pre-existing records. So no, I do not believe you can use the Import function to append to nor update an specific field in an existing record. Brgds/Jules Me too - was about to ask the same - forums are good !!! Also, will be possible (or is it available) to import just the stock records using this method - i.e. physical stock changes daily (e.g. sell in a real shop, sell on-line). So can I just import a CSV file for the stock field ?? Regards, DC Martino, I had presumed that reference to Master Category ID the Import function can only import to root categories (ie those at the first level, but it's easy enough to test. Having to dive into the database to guarantee the correct category code is certainly not user friendly....

2 issues I've come up against so far; #1 Master Category ID appears to be a numeric value but whereas I can find the CatalogID of a product that CategoryID is not disclosed anywhere; okay it's easy right now but it could become tricky. #2 In the posting below I presumed that Import' would run GD on the referenced files. It does not appear to do so. I had to create formatted artwork (ie correct dimensions etc) AND formatted+prefixed (ie "thumb_") thumbnail images for the thumbnails folder. Looks like it's better to Import no artwork and then link to it on a item-by-item basis. Thoughts?
